General (County) update -17th October 2010

  • Went for a walk 'round a local gravel pit nature reserve at dawn this morning and it was interesting (to me at least!) that the winter ducks had hardly arrived at all yet. No goldeneye, no wigeon, no shoveler. Just a few gadwall and teal -and yet I know wigeon (in particular) have started to arrive in the county.
  • I'm pretty sure our short-eared owls will be back at their winter site within a week or so, if they're not they're already!
